The Sydney graticule lies at -33 degrees latitude, 151 degrees longitude.
Sydney is Australia's largest and oldest city, and is full of interesting places and twisted, hard-to-find streets. It is a rich cultural tapestry with hidden surprises lurking around every corner, waiting to be found.
In other words, it's perfect for geohashing.
Contents
Sydney Surrounds
Metropolitan Sydney's vast urban sprawl has led to its occupation of two graticules (well, four really, but only just). To the West lies the Blue Mountains graticule. This area includes much of Western Sydney as well as the Blue Mountains themselves. On days when the Sydney target falls in the Pacific Ocean, there is often a suitable location in this graticule.
To the South-West, the outlying suburb of Campbelltown is firmly within the Wollongong graticule, whilst Sutherland lies in a graticule directly South that is almost entirely ocean.

All Sunday meetings are at 3pm AEST until further notice (due to Winter sunset)
Planned outings
Tuesday 29th July
Front lawn of 308 Lane Cove Rd, North Ryde (opposite Coxs Rd). This point is a mere 1km from the hash point of two days earlier and is easily achievable. I plan to go visit the location around 3pm. --CJ 13:38, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
I will be visiting then as well. Let me know if you change what time you'll be getting there. --TJ 21:32, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
